back to work...

well today was our first day back to work....it went good...Jason waited until i went in to go in{he usually goes in at 4, i dont have to be to work until 6} It went well for the both of us... he is just really sore and still pretty ucky feeling... I think the most annoying part about going back to work is the same question over n over n over... "how did last week go?" well really i dont know how to answer this... {it was pretty much hell.} if i told people " iffy" they would ask how so? {i believe by saying "iffy" you are nicely stating that it was HELL} some people wanted all the details {thats what the blog is for!!!} so i finally got to the point of just saying "it went" most people had the same reaction to that "that bad?" shake my head yes and the conversation was over! {wish i knew this one the beginning of my shift!} and note to all : i dont want to offend anyone with this...but a girl has to vent every-now-n-again! so dont take it to heart!! {i still love you all!} Jason told me work went well for him, for the most part... altho he is staying home with me tomorrow {i have it off! lol dont want to over do it!! {i work the weekend}} he is still pretty sick to his stomach...and sore. and of course he still has that nasty headache of his! {which i am so hoping goes away fast with his steroids!}

Frankie came home today!! oh how we have missed him and his laziness!! {he has been in Idaho for the past week or two}

I was asked today if Jason could drive... i didnt realize i hadnt posted anything on that yet... legally after having a seizure you cannot drive for 3 months... {from your last seizure, not the first!} so Jason still has a couple of months to go... but says that it makes it somewhat okay since when he can finally drive again it will be warm enough to ride the motorcycle!! :))

our cancer story {beginning}

well it all started with a seizure December 22, 2009. After amulance, ER, ambulance, ER, ICU, Neuro care unit, we were informed jason had Stage IV metastasized Melanoma. there was one tumor in his brain and 7 in his lungs. And were sent home on Christmas eve {great way to spend the holiday!} With the course of treatment chosen then jason had a 6-8% chance of living and would be lucky to make ten years {oh! he was 21 at the time} well, that treatment{IL2} was tried...once and was/is no longer an option.so Jason received full brain radiation {and lost ALL of his beautiful hair} In June of 2010 2 days after finishing radiation we were given the option of hospice {they could no longer do anything for us} so we found another hospital {CTCA} in Arizona and shortly after started a clinical trial {ipilimumab} in Idaho. Brain surgery the 2 of DEC, to remove 2 of the 6 tumors. came home the 4 :) got the pathology report the 8, which informed us the first/main tumor was dead but the 2nd was still alive {which leads us to believe all the other 6 tumors are alive} now we are waiting to decide whether jason will undergo a 2nd brain surgery or more radiation..Jason had to quit the trial due to steroids and surgery so now we are waiting to hear when/if he starts it back up..this is definitely "in a nut shell" version of our cancer story...but it gives somewhat of a background without having to read the entire blog! :)
